Even if you think that nobody would be interested in your project, the Stars show that another set of eyes may see it as something you don't — a diamond in the rough, as it were. Expect a lot of tinkering, polishing and reshaping, but if you are open to the input of others, then you could see your dream turn into a very profitable reality.

Not only will you avoid a potential fiasco, but you and a rival will be putting aside your differences in order to help each other up and over a professional hurdle. It's in both your interests to work together now. This might even have the makings of a new friendship.
